Maybe Elon thought he could "neg" the advertisers into coming back.

Maybe Elon Musk is paranoid? He claimed, that advertisers leaving X because of Nazi content and his own racist comments, was an attempt at extortion, and an attack on free speech.
To me he seems more an more unhinged over the years, and like he might actually have some kind of growing mental health problem.

Yeah I think that has been pretty clear for a while. I have a feeling he did a few too many drugs and now that damage is making his narcissistic qualities much worse.

I heard he uses the same medication Trump does to prevent hair loss, and as a side effect that can mess with your head.
Don't know if it's true though. But their form of insanity is surprisingly alike IMO.

The QAnon Anonymous podcast (it’s anti-conspiratorial thinking) released an ep about his bullshit yesterday. They suggested that he seemed to be in the throes of a drug binge. I’d buy that. I also think he’s just basically broken.

It is never a good business plan to tell your customers to go fuck themselves. Customers tend to respond negatively.

When they say Fuck You money, they aren't talking about what Elon has but whats happening to him; that boy's getting fucked.
